Chapter Seventy-Nine: Choice

In the face of Eleanor's self-persuasion, Aske on the other side cast a cold and contemptuous look.

"Why deceive yourself?" He sneered, "Didn't I tell you? ”

"In this world, only power is the root of all truths. Truth that is not backed up by power is false. He drew his sword from its sheath, "If you want to convince me, raise your sword!" ”

Eleanor also silently drew her long sword, feeling as if her heart was dripping blood.

The two swords suddenly clashed, and before the bladed warriors present could even see it clearly, the two of them instantly completed a mistake.

Eleanor quickly turned around and roared at the bladed warriors around her:

"Get out of the way!"

The Blade Warriors hurriedly evacuated the atrium, but Asker did not pursue them, but only took the opportunity to approach her again.

Nine Styles of Stars. Breaking weight!

His blade resounded eerily, and Eleanor was fully aware of the power of the Nine Forms of the Stars, and the light burst out from her in an instant.

Unyielding Holy Sword!

The holy sword instantly enveloped the whole body, forming an incomparably solid armor of light. After all, local defense is useless for Upper Asker. The Nine Stars Folded Edge could bypass all obstacles at any time and stab the tip of the sword into the parts she didn't protect.

It is known as the holy sword that is not sharp and unbreakable, and it is against the nine styles of the stars that will inevitably break the defense. Breaking weight, which one can be better?

The blade of the sword and the flow of light collided, and the victory was decided in an instant. The long sword in Asker's hand shattered, and his body was rushed out by the force of the shock.

Compared to the instantly invincible Unyielding Holy Sword, the Star Nine Style seemed to be slightly inferior.

"Asker!" Without even thinking about it, Eleanor quickly released the Holy Sword and rushed in the direction where he was being thrown away, trying to catch him before he fell to the ground.

However, Asker balances in the air, and has an extra sniper rifle in his hand, locking onto her forehead.

Eleanor had to activate the Indomitable Sword again to make sure she wouldn't get a headshot from Asker in the next second.

"How long will your holy sword last?" Asker landed steadily, then straightened up, continued to aim at her, and said sternly, "Didn't I teach you?" Offense is the best defense! ”

"Or do you just want to die? Death at my hands? ”

"Not really!" Eleanor reacted again, it was just her dream.

Including the "Asker" in front of him who claims to be "teaching" her, but in fact is always looking for opportunities to kill her......

It's all false.

However, this dream was so real that even the slightest possibility of "this is real" made her feel jealous, and it seemed that she could not let go.

Now Eleanor finally understands why Nora has no ability to resist in the face of this nightmare.

But she's different, because ......

"The real Asker would never say such a thing!" The light around Eleanor suddenly became intense, and with her growing rage, it was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look at it directly.

"How much do you know about me?" Asker sneered.

"More than you imposter can imagine!" Eleanor had completely transformed into an angel of light, and in an instantaneous dash at an invisible, high-speed dash, he slashed at Asker with a fierce sword.

The latter pulled his shield out of the void to block, but the shield was quickly split in two cleanly, and even the long sword behind the shield shattered inch by inch. The rest of the force pressed back on Asker's body, but it was resisted by the same bright light, and the residual energy slammed into the ground behind him, tearing the earth open a crack tens of meters long.

War skills. Plundering, Asker took away some of the Holy Sword's abilities, which in turn were used to fend off Eleanor's attacks.

Eleanor only felt a small amount of light drain from her body, but the violent surge of will quickly filled the gap. The Angel of Light lunged forward again, and the lightsaber slashed down again like thunder:

"He saved me in my most critical moment! How could you kill me in turn like you pretended? ”

Asker pulled out his longsword again to block, and the light on his body poured into the sword body to stabilize its strength, but it was suppressed by Eleanor's lightsaber and crumbled.

"So what?" Aske struggled to resist her attack and sarcastically asked her, "So how did you repay him?" ”

"Leave the team, become Emperor, and then announce the start of the purge of mercenaries? Wipe out the Blue Sword mercenary group that once accepted you? ”

"It's just a nightmare!" Eleanor gritted her teeth, feeling the anger in her chest as if it were burning her heart, and the next second she was about to erupt a massive amount of lava that would destroy the world.

"Dreams are the feedback of the deepest consciousness of the human heart." Asker's lightsaber in his hand was half-bent, and he could only barely support it with all his might, while not forgetting to continue to attack her sanity, "Admit it, this is what you think in your heart!" ”

"You hate war, you hate war, and if one day you can gain power, you will use it to practice your political ideals and try to eliminate war and keep the peace. However, this is contrary to the existence of mercenary groups, because mercenary groups are evil organizations that must rely on war to survive! ”

"Until that day, you will either choose to betray the team and betray Asker, who once saved! Either choose to betray your ideals and beliefs! ”

"Isn't this exactly what we're playing?" His lightsaber shattered with an overwhelming clatter, and his arm was forced to curl up under the pressure. However, despite his imminent exhaustion, this "Asker" still had a mocking sneer on his face.

"Either kill me, cut off the little emotion left in your heart, and fight for your political ideals from now on!"

"Either I'll kill you and let that king's Eleanor die, leaving only Eleanor as a woman!"

"Choose!"

His tone was like a devil, burrowing into the depths of Eleanor's consciousness, causing her to almost lose her mind for a moment, and the intense light around her flickered unsteadily.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when her mind was shaken, Asker's lightsaber suddenly brightened - he poured all the remnants of his plundered will into the lightsaber in his hand.

Then it burst with the strongest force, which in turn cut off Eleanor's lightsaber.

It wasn't until the lightsaber was about to reach her chest that Eleanor suddenly came back to her senses. The law skill of unyielding will once again helped her to get out of her state of distraction.

In the face of Asker's lightsaber slash, she only quickly condensed the light armor on her chest, and then swung her right hand into a fist, which was covered with a dazzling stream of will.

It was as if thunder was ringing in her ears, the lightsaber shattered and crumbled in her breastplate, and Eleanor's right fist had pierced Asker's chest. His pierced lungs twitched violently, blood gushing up from his trachea and running down the corners of his mouth.

"Then ...... So be it......" Asker disarmed the plunder skill, and the light went out beside him.

He tried to grab Eleanor's arm, but the remaining strength was quickly exhausted in the process of raising his hand, and eventually his arm fell limply.

Died.

Eleanor blankly pulled her arm out of his chest, her mind blank.

Of course, this is just a nightmare, and the dead "Asker" in front of him is not the real Asker.

But what he said was true......

It was something she had never thought about before, or had been avoiding thinking about.

She hated war.

However, in the Azure Sword Mercenary Group, as a mercenary, he is destined to be constantly involved in war, and even take the initiative to create war.

It wasn't the life she wanted.

But Asker ......

She slowly crouched down and held the dead Aske in her arms.

"I confess, I do yearn for a world without war." Eleanor whispered as she stared at his blood-stained face.

"But even such a peaceful world would ...... without you"

Her voice began to choke.

“…… I don't want it either. ”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and the images around her seemed to freeze in motion before they began to shatter.
